An extremely laid-back restaurant and tavern, the personality is always upbeat, and from the weekly “Taco Tuesdays” to its tremendous Cinco de Mayo parties (and large selection of signature margaritas), the Cabana has been a long-running Long Beach hot spot. Recognizable from the street due to the mural painted on the side of the building — and because it is one of the few venues with its own parking lot — diners can tackle everything from specialty tacos (ingredients include nine-spice steak, Hawaiian pork, fish and Caribbean jerk chicken), wraps, sandwiches, burgers and entrees like sauteed sea scallops, steak, fish and chicken dishes.
